Hell yeah, we were always out, mum and dad both worked long hours, so we were either, at school, out playing or sleeping....

Football was the favourite game, but we often wandered the canals and where we lived was a little housing estate built around an industrial setup...

We ate mud, got grazes and cuts and explored EVERYTHING lol... Now-a-days kids are wrapped up in cotton wool lol...

Bikes, skateboards, not roller skates, and later in late teens motorbikes too...




Hey Jaan Doh, from reading your posts I think you lived in the village in 'The Park', next to the 'Big House' (from the days it was called British Westinghouse). I served my apprenticeship there in the 1960s when it had become GEC. A pal at work lived in Fourth Street I think it was. I think it's more or less all gone now, replaced by many new industries.

Back on post.
I remember when as kids we used to build the wood go-carts using old pram wheels, then ones we called Bolly trucks, where we used old Ball or roller bearings (we called them bolly wheels there were lots of small garages that would give old ones to you), then pushed on to the ends of wooden axles to use as wheels, these were great because they were very noisy over the footpaths, very low, and used to slide round corners when pushed along fast, not seen any of those since the 1950s, happy days.
